Perfect Roast Pork Crackling - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (3 -5 kg) pork legs (50 minutes per kilogram at 190degrees celsius)
    1 teaspoon dried fennel seed
    sea salt
    black pepper
    olive oil
    boiling water
Preparation
    Score pork skin, best to have your butcher do this.
    Place pork in colander and pour boiling water over to open the skin. Dry thoroughly and then place in fridge for 1-2 hours.
    Remove from fridge and rub with salt -- Then mix ground fennel seeds with olive oil and rub all over pork and into slits.
    The flavour is magnificent. Use your own judgement on cooking times, but a general suggestion is around 50 minutes per kilogram in a moderate to hot oven.
